How about a connivance of politicians?

Since some of ours like to trot out Latin phrases to make themselves sound more cleverer, might I suggest a campana fin of politicians? 
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

How about 'an incarceration of politicians' as it does, at least, indicate the preferred state thereof.

Ummm... a congress?
(Ya know, the opposite of progress.)

That's the best definition of "Congress" I have ever heard!

"I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace, that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress! And by God, I have had this Congress! For ten years, King George and his Parliament have gulled, cullied, and diddled these colonies with their illegal taxes! Stamp Acts, Townshend Acts, Sugar Acts, Tea Acts! …" John Adams from the show 1776. Dialogue taken from historical documents, with some license. I love the phrase, "gulled, cullied, and diddled".

One of the albums I have on my phone includes a song by Joan Jett ("Wonderin'") which I'm sure also borrows from John Adams. It's very similar to "Is anybody there?"
I haven't yet gotten around to ripping the soundtrack album to mp3.

Well, the word politician comes from the greek polites, meaning citizen. Of a Polis which is a city in greek.
So a City of politicians?
Nah, I like Daniels version better.

And here I thought it came from poly, the Greek prefix for "many", and tics, small bloodsucking animals.

A cell of politicians, since that's where so many of them belong.

"Lie" is most appropriate, not compound terms.

A moneysuck of politicians
ex "Today, on capital hill, a moneysuck of politicians passed a new spending bill ..."
Money makes the world go round ... but documentation moves the money.

I would have thought a conspiracy of politicians would be an obvious choice.
These things are called terms of venery.

I think the dictionaries have got there first: A lie, an odium or an equivocation of politicians. I'm happy with any of those.
